MY COMPETITION BODY vs EVERYDAY BODY
I’m the middle this is me not shredded for a competition, not the leanest I’ve ever been, not in the perfect pose, not with the perfect lighting or any diet manipulation, this is me being me. When I look at this photo I smile not because I’m happy with my current condition but I’m looking beyond the photo and that’s what we all need to do when judging ourselves and comparing ourselves to our competition photos or previous physiques- I smile at this photo because I realise even more each day that (and I quote FIO) “your life needs substance beyond your reflection in the mirror and that associating happiness and success in your life to how you are going with your comp prep or how your body is looking is not going to make you either happy or successful.” I smile when I look at this photo because I know my happiness is so much more than wether I’m shredded or not, wether I have abs or not and wether I compete or not. In a sport where we are judged on what we look like it’s hard to learn and accept to love your body for more than just its appearance and believe me, i still struggle with this every day. Yes I understand it’s important to have a goal and a dream but look beyond those perfectly chiseled abs, separated quads and perky bikini bootys that we see plastered all over social media and ask yourself- when that first place trophy is gathering dust and when you achieve that “perfect body” (if that ever exists) what and who is going to be left in the end?
ACHIEVEING GOALS GIVES YOU PURPOSE and helps to shape you into the person you truly want to become but always remember ARRIVING AT YOUR GOAL IS NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF COMPLETION, that completion and happiness must come along the way. So never sacrifice that short term fleeting happiness of getting on stage for long term internal happiness with your own self, body and relationships in your life ? Life is about enhancing meaning so take hold, protect and cherish what is meaningful, eternal and in the end the most important dream and goal that unlike a trophy will never gather dust and will last a life time – creating internal happiness and meaningful relationships with yourself, family, loved ones, and your faith.
To everyday work towards finding happiness from within and in every aspect of your life… Beyond the trophy, beyond the competition, beyond your training, beyond your body, because life is so much more than that 30 seconds on stage #happinessfromwithin And to conclude…. In the words of Anthony Robbins – “you can succeed like crazy but still feel empty on the inside” don’t be that person.
